Maks, his parents, and his brother survived the holocaust in their home town of Wilno, Poland, because of the help of a Christian family that courageously kept them in hiding. Few, if any, other Jewish families from Wilno survived intact. Sadly, his parents each lost many family members. | After the war, Maks came to the United States on a student exchange visa and was then “adopted” by the Jewish community in Bridgeport, Connecticut, which paid for his college education. | http://www.weizmann-usa.org/get-involved/giving-opportunities/how-others-have-given/maks-etingin |
